Cathie Linz’s 25 standalone novels span from her 1982 debut Rememberance of Love to Stranded With The Sergeant in 2001. The books track the evolution of category romance across two decades, from the sweet romances of the early 1980s to the more complex contemporary stories of the 1990s.
Early titles like A Charming Strategy, A Glimpse of Paradise, and Tender Guardian reflect the gentler style of 1980s category romance. By the late 1980s and early 1990s, books like Change Of Heart, As Good as Gold, and Flirting With Trouble show a sharper, more contemporary voice. These standalones provide a survey of Linz’s development as a writer across the golden age of category romance publishing.
